And technically that game never happened, according to the NCAA.

I'm with this. 2006 was great, but nothing topped LSU's run in 1986. Beat the 6, 3, 2, and 1 seeds on the way to the Final Four. 2 OT win and a second round buzzer beater, both in Baton Rouge. Then beating Georgia Tech with two NBA all stars in Atlanta, then beating Kentucky with Ricky Blanton getting his roll on. AWESOME.

They were the 4th best team in the country and in no way should anyone besides Memphis or Kansas have won that tournament

Yep. They should have won the whole thing, but now Mario Chalmers still gives Memphis fans nightmares.

Kansas set the record for most players drafted that year. Great year of talent and a great final 4

Got absolutely screwed against Duke.

Yep. And they would have crushed West Virginia and Butler in the Final Four.

ETA: 2010 Duke is the worst national champion in years. Not talking resume (before anyone comes in here claiming 2011 UConn as the worst), just strictly eye test based off who you think would win between national champions.

The worst screw job I recall was the 91 Final Four when they tossed Dean Smith out and it completely allowed Kansas to make it ugly.

97 Kentucky was pretty damn good too.

They came so close to a 3 peat. Champions in 96 and 98, runners up in 97.

The Georgetwn team that lost to Villanova was better, because they had more size.

The UNLV team was just mean and intimidated people.


Augmon and Johnson at the F and Moses Curry at C was like running into a freaking Crip convention wearing red.

Agree, but I will say UCON '06 with 6 drafted players is up there too.
